Which gun would you choose and why?

[SlipknotX556]

RT, because I hate cockers and its the only gun in that list that I have had used and liked.

[Koosh]

I'll take secret option number 7, My classic mag with its Auto-Response frame among other goodies!

[DiRTyBuNNy]

RT pro...as long as it comes from the factory with ULE body, UL Trigger, and an X-Valve...

WOW! I forgot that one! Wicked choice... Auto-response frame + Level 10 = Muhahahaha!!!

[rehme]

i would say rtpro with emag on/off pin

[Thordic]

M98 RT.

With the reactiveness allowed, you would have a distinct ROF advantage over everyone else.

[Mr Pink]

ULE bodied RT pro with the input cranked to 1100psi

[Ov3rmind]

There are two guns I would consider, that being an entirely ULE Intelliframed Mag, or a Powerlyte Hybrid. In the end I think I would take the Hybrid, so I voted Cockers since it is based around the same basic design.

[Benfica4ever]

I have to stick with the mag..
So Rtp

My thoughts exactly!

RT = FIREPOWER! <= Remember... accuaracy through volume.

The only NEGATIVES would be:

RT PRO => efficiency, and chuffing

M98 RT + Halo => chopping, mis-feeds

A-5 RT => just how fast and reliable is the cyclone feeding system?

I would take these RT guns and their overwhelming 10-18 bps firepower over the 5-10 bps "flat 1,000 yard trajectory" of a cocker any day... but that's just me

[Ov3rmind]

It would be interesting to see what this poll would be like if the tourney enforced trigger bounce rules.

[poolshark5226]

X Valve'd, ULE body'd, Emag on/off pin'd, Y-grip'd RTP

booyah

[Jack & Coke]

So do you feel that by allowing RT sweet-spotting, other guns, such as 'cocker's are at a disadvantage?

Are the RT Pro's and Tippy's too fast for the cockers?

[wobbles82]

RT-PRO all the way! I use an RTPX as my tourny marker right now...I guess its a mechanical day for me...everyday! Woo. With the pressure cranked just right the RTPX with a HALO B would smoke the Tippies im sorry, and efficiency wise? Who said there was no airline? And who said it was that bad ? Did I mention reliability with the RT is like a brick? Cant say that bout the cockers...they are still stuck in the "short stroke" time period.
